DMF RESCINDS TRAP GEAR CLOSURE AND SPEED LIMIT IN CAPE COD BAY

The most recent aerial survey by the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies demonstrated that right whales have migrated out of those state-waters adjacent to Cape Cod. As a result, the Director of the Division of Marine Fisheries has rescinded both the Large Whale Trap Gear Closure Extension and Seasonal Speed Limit Restrictions effective May 10th. These rules were previously in place through May 14th.
